“Golper Manushera” on Desh TV

Desh TV will air single-episode TV play “Golper Manushera” at 9:35pm tonight, as part of their Eid entertainment offerings. 

Written and directed by Asad Zaman, it stars Shahadat Hossain, Mousumi Nag, Selim Ahmed and Hasnat Ripon.

The story is about a working man, Afzal Hossain, who delves too deep into the stories he reads. Sometimes the lines between fantasy and fiction begin to blur. He suddenly realizes that a story he is currently reading is very similar to his real life, and that terrifies him. In the story, while the husband is off to work, the wife engages in an affair with another man. The couple then decides to steal the husband's property and hire a hit-man to kill him and all of this starts becoming true in Azfal's life.

All the characters of the story begin coming to play in his life as he wonders if all this is real or a fantasy like the stories he reads. Or, is reality actually much better than this, where there is a possibility that his wife Ruma has something wonderful in store for her fantasy-fiction reading husband.
